Ingredient: Crushed Pistachio

  • Cherry Pistachio Tart

    The cherry pistachio tart recipe came into my mind when I was reminiscing about what I ate every summer holiday in the south of France at La Salvetat from pastry chef Flipo.

    The nutty pistachio taste goes very well with the tartness and sweetness of the cherries

    The types of cherries usually used are morello cherries, which are slightly more sour and aren’t as sweet. But I had to use the more traditional cherries because it was easier to find in London and I discovered that it does not impact the taste too much. In fact my colleagues absolutely loved it!

  • Fistik Sarma

    I had the best Fistik Sarma during my recent trip to Turkey. It was soft with a strong green pigmentation and a dominant taste of pistachio.

    I wanted to replicate this recipe once I got back home, but was only able to find recipes in Turkish. I had to watch a few videos to get an idea of how to make it.

    For a modest variation, you can use a combination of walnuts and almonds for this recipe.

    Fistik means “pistachio” in Turkish, but it is also used as a compliment for a pretty girl.
